What are Systemic Enzymes and
what do they do?
Dr. William Wong Abstract:
The word “systemic” means body wide. Systemic enzymes are those that operate
not just for digestion but throughout your body in every system and organ.
But let's take first things first, what is an enzyme?An enzyme is a biocatalyst - something that makes something else work or work faster. Chemical reactions are generally slow things, enzymes speed them up. Without enzymes the chemical reactions that make up our life would be too slow for life as we know it. (As slow as sap running down a tree in winter). For life to manifest as we know it, enzymes are essential to speed up the reactions. We have roughly some 3000 enzymes in our bodies and that results in over 7000 enzymic reactions. Most of these enzymes are derived or created from what we think of as the protein digesting enzymes. But while digestion is an important part of what enzymes do, it's almost the absolute last function. First and foremost these body wide proteolytic (protein eating) enzymes have the following actions: The above content is an abstract only. For the full Article please contact: |
